Outlook 2002 contacts

[Lee]

I imported my Personal Folder list from my desktop run
ning Windows 2000/Outlook 2000SP3 to my new Laptop
running XP/Outlook 2002. All e-mails and contacts, etc
show up but when I start a new e-mail and click on
the "to" button my contacts are not there. What did I do
wrong and how do I fix it?
Thanks

You haven't configured your Outlook Address Book correctly.
Go to Tools | E-mail accounts, select "View or change existing directories
or address books", and click OK. If you don't see the OAF in the Directories
and Address Books list, click the Back button, then select "Add a new
directory or address book", then "Additional Address Books", and add the
OAB. Then keep clicking Back until you get back to the first dialog box,
and go back to the Directories and Address Books list as you did earlier.
Once the OAB appears in the list, select it and then click Change to make
sure the Contacts folder(s) you want to display are listed. If any of them
aren't listed, you'll need to enable those Contacts folders as Outlook
Address Books by right clicking the folder, selecting Properties, clicking
the Outlook Address Book tab, and checking the "Show this folder as an
E-mail address book" box. Make sure you restart Outlook after making these
changes.
